Charged-up demand fuels Lithos' growth

By ROBERT GIBBENS
The Financial Post

  MONTREAL - Exploding demand for lightweight batteries for cellular phones, small computers and a host of electronic products has transformed Lithos Corp., a Quebec gold mine developer, into a high-tech materials producer.

  Lithos said yesterday it will build a $10-million plant at Shawinigan, Que., to make super high-purity lithium carbonite with annual capacity of 750 tonnes worth $20-million to $30-million (US).

  Lithos has spun off its mining side into a separate unit and late in August will change its name to Limtech Inc. Its biggest shareholder will be Switzerland's Canton du Valais pension fund with 25%, Sofinov, a unit of the Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec (13%), and management (6%). Industrial partners will also invest $3-million.
